This adds tocmd option to suppress-cc command which already supports
cccmd and others.

Pong?

I didn't get the impression that in the discussion that led to your
patch (or in any response to the patch) we established that it is a
good idea to change the behaviour of suppress-cc unconditionally
like this patch does.

I think suppress-cc that suppresses cccmd output is very sensible
(after all, it is about suppressing CC and cccmd is about producing
CC), but I am not convinced that it is a good idea to suppress tocmd
(which is about producing To) via suppress-cc.

Going back to the core part of your change, i.e.

-	foreach my $entry (qw (cccmd cc author self sob body bodycc)) {
+	foreach my $entry (qw (tocmd cccmd cc author self sob body bodycc)) {

to think about it a bit more, I notice that all the existing ones
are about CC.  So I am not just not convinced that tocmd belongs to
the same class.  I am inclined to say that it smells quite different
from others.

Yeah, there were no conclusions there but we agreed that we have a
problem to solve. And this patch tried one of the ways.

That's right but how do we solve this problem then?

Add another optional argument like suppress-to ? I thought that it
would be better to override suppress-cc rather than attempting any
such thing.

I am fine with any solution that address the concerns raised by this
patch though.

I am not sure what problem is being solved, quite honestly.  "I have
tocmd configured and I want a way not to specify tocmd for a single
invocation?"  Would something along the lines of 

    git -c sendemail.tocmd=true send-email ...

how you do it in general?  Do you want a prettier-looking
equivalent, e.g.

    git send-email --tocmd=true ...

or something like that?

Yeah, it works. I can use this instead.

This patch can be dropped now. Thanks.
